Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether it is planned that the Youth Full-Time Social Action review will publish its findings and recommendations by October 2017.
My predecessor as Minister for Civil Society appointed Steve Holliday as the Chair of the independent review of full-time social action by young people on 13 March 2017.
Progress with the review was delayed for six weeks due to Purdah, and we will agree a revised process and timetable with the Chair in the coming weeks. We anticipate that the review will be completed by December 2017.
